One of Australia's favourite utes that tens of thousands trust every year

FORD RANGER

From $362 per week

Work, tow or play - Ford Ranger does it all

Ford Ranger is one of the most popular cars in Australia, thanks to it fitting in the mid-sized ute market. It's got that classic ute vibe that's there for work during the week and does a great job for all weekend warriors out there, too. It’s a safe option for anyone looking at a tough-looking 4x4 with a tray.

Available with a few different engine and transmission options, so you can pick how much grunt you need for whatever you plan to throw at it. Some engines are better for fuel economy, while others are better for towing, allowing up to 3.5 tonnes of braked towing. It's all-rounder in many parts with the interior feeling fairly upmarket compared to some of its competitors. By that, we mean you can get the Ranger with all the mod-cons, tech like a big touchscreen and all those driver-assist safety features. 

That makes it feel much better than driving some bare-bones utes from back in the day. It's pretty comfy for everyday driving, which is a nice bonus. Overall, the Ranger is a good all-around ute. It's not the biggest or the quickest, but it's reliable, capable, and pretty easy to live with. For those looking for practicality and speed, we recommend checking out the Ford Ranger Raptor too. If you need a ute that can handle a bit of everything without being overly big or breaking the bank, the Ranger's definitely worth checking out.

Modern tech and a comfortable interior makes it a great all-rounder ute

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Great all rounder when it comes to daily driving, towing, and some off-road fun with the family
  • Brings plenty of tech to the ute market which has missed out for a while, including big touchscreens and driver-assistance features found in family SUVs and sedans
  • Plenty of power with the engine options for most jobs, especially when towing

Cons

  • On the pricier end with options, it can get pretty expensive, creeping into luxury segment on the upper end
  • Stiffer suspension is made for work, making the ride a bit bumpy, especially on rough roads
  • Space in the back has not been prioritised as well as some competitors, making it a bit cramped for taller passengers

Verdict

The Ford Ranger is by far one of the most well-rounded utes on the market, balancing daily driving with capability. Offering various engine options, including a powerful Raptor variant, it caters to diverse needs from drivers at various different price points. There is also plenty of tech on offer, which enhances comfort and convenience when on the road, though higher trims can be pricey. Over 60,000 sales in 2024 just shows the popularity of the Ranger and while the ride can be firm and backseat space limited in some models, the Ranger remains a solid, all-around ute.
